Petersen Co LLC, located at 716 18th St in Charleston, Illinois, is a senior living community that's been around since 2006 and is part of Petersen Health Care, with Mark Petersen holding full indirect ownership and direct ownership by Xch, LLC. This place has 139 certified beds and offers a mix of care options, like assisted living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's or other dementias, and skilled nursing for those who need medical help around the clock, and they cover a range of needs from independent living with help as needed to full nursing care as your needs change, which is what some folks call a continuing care retirement community. They help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, daily activities, and even offer meals that fit special diets, with restaurant-style dining, plus they have move-in help and basic room amenities like air conditioning and furnished spaces, and there's a dining room, computer center, fitness room, game room, garden, outdoor area, small library, wellness center, and beauty salon for residents.
They provide programs focused on recreation and wellness, with lots of chances for residents to be active, join in community-organized and resident-run events, and get help with mental wellness. They keep an eye on folks with a 24-hour call system and staff supervision, and the nursing team is around 12 to 16 hours a day, which is less than the full day, with reported nurse staffing of 3.52 nurse hours per resident per day, but nurse turnover's pretty high at 61.4%. Memory care gets specialized help and activities to support residents' needs, and there are also services in place for rehabilitation, wound care, and comprehensive nursing support, so someone needing medical attention after a surgery or illness gets help, and the place also provides transportation if you need a ride somewhere that's not a medical appointment or need help making those arrangements.
This community offers personal injury and legal resources for issues like auto accidents, medical malpractice, birth injuries, nursing home abuse, and has guides, FAQs, toolkits, videos, and news articles for folks who might need to learn about these topics. Their past shows documented deficiencies, with 62 total inspection issues, including four connected to infections, and there have been problems making sure residents are protected from abuse, neglect, and exploitation, as well as privacy issues about personal and medical records and trouble in administration and resource management, but the team continues to keep these areas in review. Brittney Steingraber has managed things since February 2024, and residents receive both health care and rehabilitative help as needed for their situation, and you'll find a range of care-from independent folks looking for social time and amenities, to those who need full support with health and daily living, and a focus on creating a supportive, watchful setting for residents of all care levels.
